What is this blog about?

This is just a small preview into my love for photography where I will try to get into detail as to how I captured the moment, why I captured it, how I edited them and many more things.

So, this is basically a heart-to-heart about whatever I feel like writing, and also about what you want to hear. Sometimes when I post a picture on Instagram I wish that you would know the story behind the picture, and I try to describe it somehow, but it's not always possible on a social media platform like Instagram.

About me

A normal CA student with a passion for photography. I started getting into photography in 2014 when my parents bought me a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot camera. I started taking pictures of things like butterflies, spiders and all normal, everyday objects that you see around.

So, inevitably, I started posting my pictures on Facebook and Instagram. I got a good initial reaction from friends which pushed me to learn more about photography in general. I have definitely come a long way, but I have an even longer path ahead of me.

Scotland of India - Madikeri (Part I)

( Raja's Seat. Captured on Honor 4X. 1/40, ISO 100) 9th to 11th December, 2015 Before we get started, let's hear a quick word from our sponso-- nah, just kidding. But seriously though I want to make a couple of things clear. I do most of my editing on Snapseed mobile or Adobe Lightroom mobile or sometimes using Gimp (which is a free and open source application that you should check out if you are interested). I will try to add screenshots wherever possible and also the device with which the picture was captured and the metadata. The trip This is a trip that I will cherish for years to come. This was the first time that I went on a trip without my parents. My two friends and I planned for this in three days' time. This was new to me. Earlier, in other trips, there was nothing to do except to listen to my parents. No worrying about accommodation or food or more importantly, money. We left Bangalore on 8th night and reached Madikeri on next early morning. And thankfully, we d...

A Day in Bannerughatta

What comes to your mind when you hear 'Biological Park', or 'National Park'? And what comes to your mind when you hear the word 'Zoo'? On the face of it, they might appear as different things. And most of the time, they are. But in Bannerughatta they are the same. While traditionally, a biological park is something of a conserved forest with the motive to protect animals in its natural habitat, it's not the case in Bannerughatta. There is a Zoo and a small forest where animals roam in a very limited boundary. Basically, they are just bigger cages. And who decides where these animals roam and what they eat? Yep, humans. Can we call this space a biological reserve then? I hardly think so. The very reason of these biological parks and zoos is to make money through visitors, and not the conservation of animals. Don't let their motto deceive you. There are way too many animals in there which don't need protection and can survive easily in the wild. And ...

Scotland of India - Madikeri (Part III)

(Nagarahole Park. Nikon S6500. 1/400. ISO 125) The Final Day - Iruppu Falls and Nagarahole National Park The last day of the trip was quite dull. We could only cover two places since both places were a bit far away. We hired a taxi from Madikeri; left home at around 10 after having breakfast. (And yeah, we covered 3 waterfalls in 3 days) Iruppu Falls (Iruppu Falls. Honor 4X. 1/153. ISO 100) Our first stop was Iruppu Falls. A hidden beauty in the Brahmagiri range, we have to walk for around 2 km from the parking space to reach this waterfalls. The path is kind of paved. So, it is easy to walk. Along the way, there are different boards informing us about the animals residing in that forest. There was a ramp to the exact water falling spot. We went and stood (and played) under that freezing water (I'm not sure if they're allowing that now). It was, quite literally, breathtaking. We enjoyed a lot at this place. Then we left for Nagarahole. Nagarahole (Deer in Nagarahole. Nikon S65...
